# Configuring the Ansible playbook
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2019-03-10 15:02:17 +00:00
To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2019-03-10 15:02:17 +00:00
- have a server where Matrix services will run
- [configured your DNS records ](configuring-dns.md )
- [retrieved the playbook's source code ](getting-the-playbook.md ) to your computer
You can then follow these steps inside the playbook directory:
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2024-02-04 17:31:32 +00:00
1. create a directory to hold your configuration (`mkdir -p inventory/host_vars/matrix.< your-domain > `)
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2021-03-06 18:35:12 +00:00
1. copy the sample configuration file (`cp examples/vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.< your-domain > /vars.yml`)
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2023-04-27 05:12:09 +00:00
1. edit the configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.< your-domain > /vars.yml`) to your liking. You may also take a look at the various `roles/*/ROLE_NAME_HERE/defaults/main.yml` files and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in your `vars.yml` configuration file.
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2021-03-06 18:35:12 +00:00
1. copy the sample inventory hosts file (`cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts`)
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2021-03-06 18:35:12 +00:00
1. edit the inventory hosts file (`inventory/hosts`) to your liking
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
2024-01-09 17:08:43 +00:00
2. (optional, advanced) you may wish to keep your `inventory` directory under version control with [git ](https://git-scm.com/ ) or any other version-control system.
3. (optional, advanced) to run Ansible against multiple servers with different `sudo` credentials, you can copy the sample inventory hosts yaml file for each of your hosts: (`cp examples/host.yml inventory/my_host1.yml` …) and use the [`ansible-all-hosts.sh` ](../bin/ansible-all-hosts.sh ) script [in the installation step ](installing.md ).
2018-08-08 07:07:02 +00:00
For a basic Matrix installation, that's all you need.
For a more custom setup, see the [Other configuration options ](#other-configuration-options ) below.
When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with [Installing ](installing.md ).

Add support for WeChat bridging
This is based on the PR (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3241)
by Tobias Diez (https://github.com/tobiasdiez).
I've refactored some parts, made it more configurable, polished it up,
and it's integrated into the playbook now.
Both the WeChat bridge and WeChat agent appear to be working.
The WeChat bridge joins rooms and responds as expected.
That said, end-to-end testing (actually bridging to a WeChat account) has not been done yet.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/701

Make sure matrix-wechat-agent runs as 1000:1000
It needs to write stuff to `/home/user/.vnc`.
`/home/user` is owned by `user:group` (`1000:1000`), so it cannot run
any other way.
Previously, if the `matrix` user was uid=1000 by chance, it would work,
but that's pure luck.

matrix_go_wechat_ -> matrix_wechat_
The bridge is written in Go, but does not include Go anywhere in its
name. As such, it's mostly useless to use `matrix_go_wechat` as the
prefix.
